How do I set encoding with NSURLConnection/NSData/String?

Question

I'm using an API that's returning data with some encoding problems. In Firefox, special characters display properly, such as the word "ombré." In Safari—and, in the response from an NSURLConnection—that word comes in as "ombré." I'm then displaying this content in UILabels in my app. How do I deal with the encoding issues? If I force Safari into UTF-8, the special characters appear properly, how do I do the same from NSURLConnection or the NSData returned?

Use this initializer/constructor - (instancetype)initWithData:(NSData *)data encoding:(NSStringEncoding)encoding
